Vegan Chipotle Bean Chili!
Chili is such a great filling one-pot meal. This Vegan Chipotle Bean Chili is super flavourful. It’s loaded with different varieties of beans and gets its bold flavour from dried chipotle powder and other seasonings. This chili features a smooth consistency, since I am not a huge fan of tomato chunks in my chili. The chili is made with tomato sauce to achieve a smooth texture, but you could add stewed tomatoes as well. I added onions, garlic, and green bell peppers, but corn or jalapenos would also be delicious here.
I live to serve this meal with ripe avocado and baked fries. It’s super filling on its own, but would also be great with tortilla chips or rice.
